BRYN MAWR BANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007 and 2006

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation’s (the “Corporation”) Management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of The Bryn Mawr Trust Company’s (the “Bank”) financial condition and results of operations.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Statements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board are noted in these statements by the abbreviation “FAS”.

2. Earnings Per Common Share:

The Corporation follows the provisions of FAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“FAS 128”). Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the potential dilution, computed pursuant to the treasury stock method, that could occur if stock options were exercised and converted into common stock. The effects of stock options are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. All weighted average shares, actual shares and per share information in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of stock dividends and splits.

     8,444      3,250

3. Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged as an expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses when Management believes that such amounts are uncollectible. The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level that Management believes is sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Note 1, – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan and lease losses, included in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10K contains additional information relative to Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

4. Stock Based Compensation

The Corporation adopted FAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payments” (“FAS 123R”) effective January 1, 2006. FAS 123R establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period.

Table of Contents

The Corporation previously applied Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”).

Generally, the approach in FAS 123R to stock-based payment accounting is similar to FAS 123. However, FAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, be recognized as compensation cost in the statement of income at their fair value. Pro forma disclosure for periods beginning after January 1, 2006 is not an alternative under FAS 123R.

The Corporation elected to adopt FAS 123R using the modified prospective application method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based upon the requirements of FAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date, and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123 for all awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.

The Corporation’s stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $7 thousand and $39 thousand, respectively. This expense had no material impact on earnings or diluted earnings per share in either period.

The Corporation’s Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) permits the issuance of options to key employees and Directors to purchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock. A total of 431,143 shares were authorized in 2004 by the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2007 there are 10,189 shares available for future grant. The option price is set at the closing price for the stock on the day preceeding issuance of grants as determined by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Options granted may either be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, or non-qualified options. The stock options are exercisable over a period determined by the Board of Directors; however, the option period will not be longer than ten years from the date of the grant. The vesting period of option grants issued is also determined by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. During 2007 all grants were issued with a three-year vesting period. The Corporation’s practice is to issue option related shares from authorized but unissued shares.

On April 25, 2007 the Shareholders approved the Corporation’s “2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan” (“LTIP”). The purpose of the LTIP is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Corporation by providing long term incentives to directors and employees of the Corporation. Details of the LTIP are documented in detail in the Corporation’s 2007 Proxy Statement.

6. Segment Information

FAS No. 131, “Segment Reporting” (“FAS 131”), identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Corporation has applied the aggregation criterion set forth in FAS 131 to the results of its operations.

The Corporation has identified four “segments” as defined by FAS 131 as follows: Banking, Wealth Management, Mortgage Banking and All Other. Footnote 24 – Segment Information, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10K provides additional descriptions of the identified segments.

There was $8 thousand of temporary impairment on MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 there was no impairment. The temporary impairment is concentrated in higher rate mortgages.

At March 31, 2007, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of MSRs to immediate 10 and 20 percent adverse changes in those assumptions are as follows:

These assumptions and sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the table also indicates, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which could magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Corporation repurchased 26,287 shares of its common stock for $617,000 at an average purchase price of $23.47 per share.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

FIN 48

The Corporation adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. As required by FIN 48, which clarifies FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Corporation recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the Corporation would more likely than not sustain the position following an examination. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Corporation applied for these criteria to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. There were no adjustments to retained earnings for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.

The Corporation is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in multiple state jurisdictions. The Corporation is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for the years before 2003.

The Corporation’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. At March 31, 2007, the Corporation has no amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions, interest or penalties in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

FAS 155

In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155 – “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“FAS 155”). Among other things, this Statement permits fair value re-measurement for certain hybrid financial instruments and requires that entities evaluate whether beneficial interests contain embedded derivatives or are derivatives in their entirety.

This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Corporation adopted FAS 155 effective January 1, 2007. The Corporation has determined that the adoption of FAS 155 did not have a material impact during the first quarter of 2007 on its consolidated financial statements.

FAS 156

In March 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“FAS 156”). FAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. FAS 158 also requires fair value measurement of a servicing asset or liability upon initial recognition and permits different methods to subsequently measure each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing

Table of Contents

liabilities. This Statement additionally permits under certain circumstances a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115.

This Statement becomes effective at the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Corporation adopted FAS 156 effective January 1, 2007. The Corporation has determined that the adoption of FAS 156 did not have a material impact during the first quarter of 2007 on its consolidated financial statements.

FAS 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157 – “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The Statement applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards.

FAS 157 is effective for fair-value measures already required or permitted by other standards for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation did not early adopt FAS 157 and has not yet determined whether this Statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

FAS 159

In February, 2007 the FASB issued FAS No. 159– “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.

FAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was available subject to certain conditions. The Corporation did not early adopt FAS 159, and has not yet determined whether this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

11. Subsequent Event

On May 1, 2007 a significant Wealth Division customer announced its intention to be acquired by a financial institution. The acquiring financial institution provides wealth management services similar to that of the Corporation’s Wealth Management Division. The press release announcing this transaction anticipates completion during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Revenues from this customer for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $177 thousand and $103 thousand, respectively. Wealth Division revenue in 2006 included $403 thousand from this customer. Wealth Division assets under management and administration, not included in the consolidated balance sheet, associated with this customer were $413 million and $412 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Brief History of the Corporation

The Bryn Mawr Trust Company (the “Bank”) received its Pennsylvania banking charter in 1889 and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. In 1986, Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (the “Corporation”) was formed and on January 2, 1987, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The Bank and Corporation are headquartered in Bryn Mawr, PA, a western suburb of Philadelphia, PA. The Corporation and its subsidiaries provide wealth management, community banking, residential mortgage lending, insurance and business banking services to its customers through eight full service branches and seven retirement community offices throughout Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. The Corporation trades on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASD”) under the symbol BMTC.

The goal of the Corporation is to become the preeminent community bank and wealth management organization in the Philadelphia area.

The Corporation competes in a highly competitive market area and includes local, national and regional banks as competitors along with savings banks, credit unions, insurance companies, trust companies, registered investment advisors and mutual fund families. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are regulated by many regulatory agencies including the Securities and Exchange Committee (“SEC”), NASD, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

Results of Operations

The following is Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Corporation. The Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative of similar performance in the future. These interim financial statements are unaudited.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) applicable to the financial services industry. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation and certain reclassifications are made when necessary to conform the previous year’s financial statements to the current year’s presentation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenditures for the periods presented. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The allowance for loan and lease losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by Management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including, among others, expected default probabilities, expected commitment usage, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, value of collateral, estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages and general amounts for historical loss experience. The process also considers economic conditions, international events, and inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from Management estimates, additional provisions for loan and lease losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Other significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques utilized as compared to prior periods.

Executive Overview

The Corporation reported first quarter 2007 diluted earnings per share of $0.46, an increase of $0.10 or 27.8% compared to $0.36 in the same period of 2006. Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $3.976 million, an increase of 26.8% or $840,000, compared to $3.136 million in last year’s first quarter. The primary factor contributing to the increase in earnings for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year was a $0.10 per diluted share or an $866,000 after tax gain on the sale of real estate that previously served as the Bank’s Wynnewood branch location. Excluding the real estate gain, first quarter 2007 diluted earnings per share and net income were $0.36 per share and $3.110 million, respectively, essentially unchanged from first quarter 2006 results but in line with management’s expected internal projections.

Having anticipated a large one-time gain on the sale of real estate during this first quarter, the Corporation began a number of initiatives in the latter part of 2006. All of these initiatives are expected to be dilutive to earnings in 2007. They include the formation of an equipment leasing company, the start-up of a loan production office in West Chester, the opening of our new Ardmore Office and the re-tooling of our Wealth Services area. In addition, on May 1, 2007, the Bank is starting a Private Banking Group to better meet the needs of the Bank’s most affluent clients. These initiatives are expected to be accretive to earnings in 2008.

Additionally, first quarter 2007 results reflect the continued unfavorable interest rate environment as net interest income grew only $195,000 or 2.4% from the first quarter of 2006 and actually decreased $49,000 or 0.6% from the fourth quarter of 2006.

Return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were 19.36% (15.15% excluding the real estate gain) and 2.03% (1.59% excluding the real estate gain), respectively. ROE was 16.27% and ROA was 1.83% for the same period last year. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2007 was 4.65% compared with 5.22% in the first quarter of 2006. This decrease reflects the Corporation’s need to fund earning asset growth in 2007 with wholesale funding at a rate of 5.42% and a continued change in deposit mix which is discussed later in this document. The net interest margin of 4.65% for the first quarter of 2007 is unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting higher earning asset yields provided by the leasing company, offset by higher funding costs.

Total portfolio loans and leases at March 31, 2007 were $691.5 million, an increase of $84.9 million or 14.0% from $606.6 million at March 31, 2006 and an increase of $10.2 million or 6.0% (annualized) from year end balances of $681.3 million. Leases at March 31, 2007 of $16.9 million were 2.4% of total portfolio loans and leases. The lease portfolio is presently growing at a rate of over $3 million per month. Credit quality on the entire loan and lease portfolio continues to be very strong as nonperforming loans and leases of $417,000 represents less than 0.07% of total loans and leases. The Corporation expects lease charge-offs to increase as the lease portfolio matures and grows over the next two years. However, lease charge-offs are expected to be below industry norms as the Corporation has an experienced underwriting team, the lease portfolio is geographically diverse, and the average customer exposure is less than $25,000. At March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan and lease losses of $8.366 million represents 1.21% of portfolio loans and leases compared with 1.19% at December 31, 2006.

Total liabilities declined $18.9 million from $744.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $725.3 million at March 31, 2007. This decline was driven by a decrease in deposits of $50.2 million or 7.0% over the past three months to $664.3 million at March 31, 2007 from $714.5 million at December 31, 2006 partially offset by an increase in borrowed funds of $30 million. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to the competitive environment for retaining and gathering deposits and the larger deposit inflows of approximately $35.0 million that temporarily boosted year-end deposits. The decline is concentrated in savings, NOW and market rate accounts which decreased $16.4 million or 5.5% to $279.1 million from $295.5 million at December 31, 2006.

The Corporation’s plans to increase core funding include the opening of a West Chester Branch location in 2008, the refurbishment of the Wayne branch location in the Fall of 2007 and the introduction of “Easy Banking”, a remote capture product that allows high volume commercial customers to electronically transmit their check deposits from their office. Once implemented, these plans should have a positive impact on deposit growth over the next few years.

On May 1, 2007 a significant Wealth Division customer announced its intention to be acquired by a financial institution. The acquiring financial institution provides wealth management services similar to that of the Corporation’s Wealth Management Division. The press release announcing this transaction anticipates completion during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Revenues from this customer for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $177 thousand and $103 thousand, respectively. Wealth Division revenue in 2006 includes $403 thousand from this customer. Wealth Division assets under management and administration, not included in the consolidated balance sheet, associated with this customer were $413 million and $412 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Components of Net Income

Net income is affected by five major elements: Net Interest Income or the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposit and borrowed funds; the Provision for Loan and Lease Losses or the amount added to the allowance for loan and lease losses to provide reserves for inherent losses on loans and leases; Non-Interest Income which is made up primarily of certain fees, trust income, residential mortgage activities and gains and losses from the sale of securities; Non-Interest Expenses which consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits and other operating expenses; and Income Taxes. Each of these major elements will be reviewed in more detail in the following discussion.

NET INTEREST INCOME ON A TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS

The tax equivalent net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $8.475 million was $215 thousand or 2.6% higher than the net interest income for the same period in 2006 of $8.260 million. The analyses below indicate that increased loan volume was the primary driver of the increase in net interest income. However, the growth in interest income was partially offset by an increase in interest expense as the deposit mix continues to shift to higher rate products and the Corporation is using more wholesale certificates of deposit as a source of funding. Average earning assets increased $96.4 million or 15.0% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Average loans grew $90.0 million or 15% while investments increased $10.0 million or 26.9% over 2006. The average earning asset yield during the first quarter of 2007 of 6.93% was 35 basis points higher than the 6.58% during the same period in 2006 as rates and volume increased. The rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities of 3.08% in 2007 was 116 basis points higher than the 1.92% in 2006 due to the payment of higher rates on interest bearing deposits and the increase in wholesale CD’s. Average time deposits increased 30.0% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, while savings, NOW and money market accounts decreased 7.7% during the same time period.

The rate volume analysis in the table below analyzes dollar changes in the components (interest income and interest expense) of tax equivalent net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006 broken out by rate and volume.

Tax Equivalent Net Interest Margin

The Corporation’s net interest margin decreased 57 basis points to 4.65% in the first quarter of 2007 from 5.22% in the same period last year. The yield on earning assets increased due to an increase in market rates and the impact of higher yielding leases. Conversely, the cost of interest bearing deposits increased more than the yield on earning assets, a result of the increasing rate environment and the need to remain competitive with pricing in order to be successful in deposit retention and gathering. The impact of the increasing cost of deposits for the first quarter of 2007 was offset by higher asset yields when compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, resulting in no change in the net interest margin. The net interest margin and related components for the past five linked quarters are as follows:

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Corporation actively manages its interest rate sensitivity position. The objectives of interest rate risk management are to control exposure of net interest income to risks associated with interest rate movements and to achieve sustainable growth in net interest income. Management’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), using policies and procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, is responsible for managing the interest rate sensitivity position. The Corporation manages interest rate sensitivity by changing the mix, pricing and repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities, through the management of its investment portfolio, its offering of loan and deposit terms and through borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”).

The Corporation uses several tools to manage its interest rate risk including interest rate sensitivity analysis (aka “Gap Analysis”), market value of portfolio equity analysis, interest rate simulations under various rate scenarios and net interest margin reports. The results of these reports are compared to limits established by the Corporation’s Asset Liability Management Policies and appropriate adjustments are made if the results are outside of established limits.

The following table demonstrates the annualized result of an interest rate simulation and the expected effect that a parallel interest rate shift in the yield curve and subjective adjustments in deposit pricing might have on the Corporation’s projected net interest income over the next 12 months. The changes to net interest income shown below are in compliance with the Corporation’s policy guidelines.

The interest rate simulation above indicates that the Corporation’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 is asset sensitive meaning that an increase in interest rates should increase net interest income and a decline in interest rates will cause a decline in net interest income over the next 12 months. The asset sensitivity position has been reduced over the past year with the addition of fixed rate commercial loans, residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities to the asset mix. Additionally, the Corporation purchased a $25 million three-year interest rate floor in April, 2006 to mitigate the impact on earnings of declining rates over the next three years.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

General Discussion of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Corporation uses the allowance method of accounting for credit losses. The balance in the allowance for loan and lease losses is determined based on Management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including Management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses.

Increases to the allowance for loan and lease losses are implemented through a corresponding provision (expense) in the Corporation’s statement of income. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses.

Table of Contents

While Management considers the allowance for loan and lease losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future additions to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions or Management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses and Management’s intent with regard to the disposition of loans. In addition, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan and lease losses.

The Corporation’s allowance for loan and lease losses is the accumulation of four components that are calculated based on various independent methodologies. All components of the allowance for loan and lease losses are estimations. Management discusses these estimates earlier in this document under the heading of “Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates”. The four components are as follows:

 

   

Specific Loan Evaluation Component – Includes the specific evaluation of larger classified loans and leases

 

   

Historical Charge-Off Component – Applies a five year historical charge-off rate to pools of non-classified loans and leases

 

   

Additional Factors Component – The loan portfolio is broken down into multiple homogenous subclassifications upon which multiple factors (such as delinquency trends, economic conditions, loan terms, and regulatory environment) are evaluated resulting in an allowance amount for each of the subclassifications. The sum of these amounts equals the Additional Factors Component.

 

   

Unallocated Component – This amount represents a general reserve against all loans and leases.

Asset Quality and Analysis of Credit risk

Asset quality remains strong at March 31, 2007 as nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 6 basis points. This compares with 12 basis points at December 31, 2006 and 13 basis points at March 31, 2006. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.21% at March 31, 2007 compared with 1.19% at December 31, 2006 and 1.25% at March 31, 2006. The provision for loan and lease losses in the first quarter of 2007 was $250 thousand, compared to $154 thousand in the same period last year. The Corporation expects lease charge-offs to increase as the lease portfolio matures and grows over the next two years. However, lease charge-offs are expected to be below industry norms as the Corporation has an experienced underwriting team, the lease portfolio is geographically diverse, and the average customer exposure is less than $25,000.

Additional factors considered by management during the first quarter of 2007 were national delinquency trends in sub-prime mortgages. The Corporation has no exposure to sub-prime mortgage loans.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Three months ended March 31, 2007 Compared to March 31, 2006

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2007 excluding the $1.333 million (pre-tax) real estate gain, was $4.813 million, an increase of $214,000 or 4.7% over the $4.599 million in the first quarter of 2006. The primary factor for this increase was first quarter Wealth Division revenue of $3.287 million which was $167,000 or 5.4% higher than the same period last year. The Corporation is investing in additional personnel and service enhancements in the Wealth Division with the goal of stronger revenue growth. Wealth Management assets under management and administration were $2.522 billion at March 31, 2007 compared to $2.262 billion at March 31, 2006. A slight improvement in mortgage loan sale revenue due to increased sales also contributed to the growth in non-interest income. See the last two paragraphs in the Executive Summary regarding a large Wealth Division customer.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Three months ended March 31, 2007 Compared to March 31, 2006

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2007 was $8.435 million, an increase of $590,000 or 7.5% over $7.845 million in the first quarter of 2006. This increase is due to several factors including staffing costs relating to the leasing company and the West Chester loan production office, annual merit increases, the opening of the Ardmore branch and increased advertising costs due to timing and professional fees, specifically consulting and audit fees. The increase in professional fees is related to the adoption of new accounting standards. The costs of the Wealth Division and Private Banking Group initiatives will be phased in over the second and third quarters of 2007. Fourth quarter 2006 non-interest expense was $7.846 million.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $1.861 million compared to $1.645 million for the same period in 2006. This represents an effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of 31.9% and an effective tax rate of 34.4% for the same period in 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due an immaterial over-accrual of taxes in the fourth quarter of 2006 that was applied against the current quarter’s provision.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Total assets decreased $15.8 million or 1.9% from $826.7 million as of December 31, 2006 to $810.9 million as of March 31, 2007. This decrease is related to a decline in cash and cash equivalents of $28.6 million from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to the short term inflows of certain deposit accounts at year end 2006. Partially offsetting this decline was an increase in portfolio loans of $10.2 million or 1.5% from $681.3 as of December 31, 2006 to $691.5 million as of March 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

Average loans for the first quarter of 2007 increased $15.9 million or 2.4% to $684.9 million compared to $669.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The table below compares portfolio loans and leases outstanding at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The increase in leases of $9.9 million is the primary reason for the increase in total loans and leases of $10.2 million. The Corporation continues to focus its business development efforts on building banking relationships with privately held businesses, non-profits, high quality residential builders and owners of commercial real estate.

Total liabilities declined $18.9 million from $744.3 million at December 31, 2006 to $725.3 million at March 31, 2007. This decline is driven by a decrease in deposits of $50.2 million or 7.0% over the past three months to $664.3 million at March 31, 2007 from $714.5 million at December 31, 2006 partially offset by an increase in borrowed funds of $30 million. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to the competitive environment for retaining and gathering deposits and the larger deposit inflows of approximately $35.0 million that temporarily boosted year-end deposits. The decline is concentrated in savings, NOW and market rate accounts which decreased $16.4 million or 5.5% to $279.1 million from $295.5 million at December 31, 2006.

Average deposits for the first quarter of 2007 increased $4.4 million or 0.7% to $654.2 million compared to $649.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Table of Contents

Both the Corporation and the Bank exceed the required capital levels to be considered “Well Capitalized” by their respective regulators at the end of each period presented.

Neither the Corporation nor the Bank are under any agreement with regulatory authorities, nor is Management aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which, if such recommendations were implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Corporation.

Liquidity

The Corporation manages its liquidity position on a daily basis as part of the daily settlement function and continuously as part of the formal asset liability management process. The Bank’s liquidity is maintained by managing its core deposits as the primary source, and purchasing federal funds, selling loans in the secondary market, borrowing from the FHLB, purchasing wholesale certificates of deposit and selling securities as its secondary sources. Availability with the FHLB was approximately $246 million as of March 31, 2007. Overnight Fed Funds lines consist of lines from six banks totaling $68.0 million. Quarterly, ALCO reviews the Corporation’s liquidity needs and reports its findings to the Risk Management Committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2007, the Bank had $15 million in overnight fed funds borrowings and $30 million in FHLB advances. Alternative funding sources are being investigated to offset the results of the competitive environment that exists for core deposit gathering.

Off Balance Sheet Risk

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Total commitments to extend credit at March 31, 2007 were $330.0 million.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to a customer for a third party. Such standby letters of credit are issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is similar to that involved in granting loan facilities to customers. The Corporation’s obligation under standby letters of credit at March 31, 2007 amounted to $7.9 million.

Estimated fair values of the Corporation’s off-balance sheet instruments are based on fees and rates currently charged to enter into similar loan agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Since fees and rates charged for off-balance sheet items are at market levels when set, there is no material difference between the stated amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet instruments.

Section 404 of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002

The Corporation and its Management completed compliance procedures relating to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 as documented in the Corporation’s Form 10-K. Management continues to devote considerable effort in 2007 to assure continued compliance with all aspects of SOX 404.

The PCAOB and SEC have issued a draft of management standards pertaining to management’s evaluation of controls over financial reporting, along with a new auditing standard. Since these new standards are still in draft form, the Corporation is unable to determine what impact they may have on the Corporation’s SOX 404 compliance procedures.

Other Information

 

 

Branch Office Expansion

During the first quarter of 2004 and the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation opened full service branch bank offices in Newtown Square and Exton, PA, respectively. In January of 2007, the Corporation’s Wynnewood branch was closed and customer accounts were transferred to the new Ardmore branch office. As discussed earlier, the Wynnewood branch real estate was sold during the first quarter of 2007. The Corporation hopes to break ground for construction of a West Chester, PA branch site later this year. The Corporation anticipates measured expansion of its branch footprint over the next few years.

 

 

Regulatory Matters and Pending Legislation

Management is not aware of any other current specific recommendations by regulatory authorities or proposed legislation which, if they were implemented, would have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations, although the general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may have, an impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.

In February, 2006, Congress passed the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (FDIRA-2005”). This legislation will merge the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into one fund, increase insurance coverage for retirement accounts to $250,000, adjust the maximum deposit insurance for inflation after March 31, 2010 and give the FDIC greater flexibility in setting insurance assessments. As part of the FDIRA-2005, the Corporation’s primary operating subsidiary, the Bank, has been granted a one-time credit of approximately $409 thousand for utilization against future FDIC insurance premiums. The FDIC announced that 2007 assessments will range from 5 to 7 basis points for well capitalized institutions with composite regulatory examination ratings of one or two. The Corporation anticipates that the $409 thousand credit will offset all of the 2007 premium assessment and a significant portion of the 2008 assessment. The actual assessment for the first quarter of 2007 will be issued by the FDIC on or around June 15, 2007.

 

 

Effects of Inflation

Inflation has some impact on the Corporation’s operating costs. Unlike many industrial companies, however, substantially all of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Corporation’s performance than the general level of inflation. Over short periods of time, interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as prices of goods and services.

 

 

Effect of Government Monetary Policies

The earnings of the Corporation are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the money supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement those objectives are open market operations in United States government securities and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and their use may also affect rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The Corporation is a member of the Federal Reserve System and, therefore, the policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have a significant effect on its deposits, loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are expected to affect the Corporation’s operations in the future. The effect of such policies and regulations upon the future business and earnings of the Corporation cannot be predicted.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

There has been no material change in the Corporation’s assessment of its sensitivity to market risks since its presentation in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Frederick C. Peters

Table of Contents

II, and Chief Financial Officer, J. Duncan Smith, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).
